OverviewThe Ecoline DS die-casting machine offers locking forces from 3400 to 9000 kN for production of aluminium and magnesium parts. It pairs a 210-bar injection unit, a proven 3-platen toggle clamping system and integrated digital services (Bühler Insights) to increase productivity, repeatability and cell availability.
Key benefits- Maximized uptime: digital tools and dashboards provide transparent process analysis and downtime insights to improve cell availability.
- Reliable, repeatable production: proven toggle design and real-time shot control deliver stable results across applications.
- Higher yield: advanced filling control, multi-point settings and braking function reduce scrap and improve first-pass quality.
Highlight features- Industry 4.0 ready: Bühler Insights Die Casting Dashboard for machine, cell and foundry performance and Downtime Analysis.
- 210-bar injection unit with proportional control for high-speed, high-pressure filling and process compensation.
- Single-circuit hydraulic system with piston accumulator and integrated intensifier for fast phase changes and repeatability.
- 3-platen toggle clamping and double-cylinder hydraulic ejector for parallel ejection and long-term stability.
- Configurable options: built-in core-pull hydraulics, squeeze pins, vacuum systems and peripheral integration.
- Integrated touch-screen operator station for intuitive control and rapid changeovers.
- Central automation: synchronized control of machine and peripherals to optimise cycle time and throughput.
